Day 44

Friday, November 18, 2011

Well today started out a bit slow, however it started to get busy around 9 or so. Emmanuel the student doctor was there again today to help us out. We saw a few patients with him. We saw a little baby who had herpes on his genitals along with in his mouth, poor little guy. We then saw a lady that keeps coming back for shortness of breath and joint pain. She talked extremely slow and it took forever for her to get out what she wanted to say…she kept complaining about things; I couldn’t take it anymore, I had to leave! Emmanuel finally finished with her about 45 minutes later.

Trixy and I then started on our line of echos to do. We had two trans-vaginal echos and two other OB exams. They all went fine. These were the first echos that I had seen the baby before 10 weeks.  We saw cardiac movement in both of the babies that were only 7 and 8 weeks along. One of the women thought that she may have lost her baby, but we found that it had cardiac activity, which is a good sign. This again reminds me of what an Awesome God we have. How can something so small already have developed a heart that is beating, it goes to show how powerful God is and how precious life is. God is amazing, the things He does and creatures He has made are amazing!

We finally got off work today around 3, then Mary and I ran up to the post office, nothing…at least not for me. Anyways when we got back we at some lunch/supper and enjoyed some watermelon that we bought from some little girls that came to our door. We then just sat around, relaxed, and talked. We did Abs, then just decided to relax. I showered, got on the computer, blogged and just took it easy. Now I am about to head to bed and get some good rest, so goodnight everyone.

The little girls that came to the hospital to sell us watermelon and bananas, they were so cute! And the watermelon was delicious! The way they carry those is impressive!
